Assalamualaikum,

This question goes specifically to the people on this board studying AS-A Levels. I was just wondering, in the next 10 years what do you want to have achieved? Degree? Career? Marriage? Just thought it would be interesting to see which careers the muslims on this forum are pusuing, would be good to see if we have more muslim doctors and engineers, as muslims were at the forefront of these fields, years ago.

Right now I am studying

AS Level Maths, Physics, Computing, Electronics

In the next 10 years, I plan to start and finish hifz, before I start Uni, and after Hifz and Sixth form, spend a year in a darul uloom in South Africa doing revision of what I have learnt, and learning Qiraat.

After that go to Uni, study communications engineering, move to the middle-east/North Africa, get a job there......

(Thats the plan anyway)

After I graudate high school which is in 8 months :) I would like to go to college to be a doctor. So down the line in 10 years you'll see an evil look on my face giving injections. Then again I advice people who are still in high-school and they are about to graduate don't go into the Army. Cuz the armed forces really need the people and they are calling almost everyone's houses asking about our career right after high school. It's like they want to draft us right then and there :omg:

OMG that's how my dad is, and it's really annoying. My dad wants me to be a doctor, however at the same time I'm really religious because I'm just interested to learn about Islam, he thinks that Islam is going to be an obstacle for me to pursue my doctorate career. I'm like No! Where did you get that concept from? Wether you like it or not learning more about Islam for me is a must. Besides that I can be a doctor and learn about islam at the same time :-\

Do Aalim
Open up businesses, restaurants

So you see I'm very confused lol

well, here is wat I think:

Communications Engineering: Many are needed in Middle East especially in saudi cuz they know how to run businesses and get millions of riyals in their back pockets but they NEED I.T boffs!!!!
Architecture: When I become a Princess, you can make my palace with fountains and pillars and stuff!!
become an Electrician: Physics.....ewwwwwww
Do Aalim: Something you can do in ur spare time!!!
Open up businesses, restaurants: Can have them worldwide....and use some of the money to make 3 world countries a better place!!

Hope I helped. Keep the archtecture in mynd. Might need u at sum point!!lol

Jazakallah for the reply, you've kind of made it a little clearer for me.... I guess i was leaning more towards Communications Engineering and Architecture and then open restaurants at a later stage. But then Aalim looks pretty good too.


And don't worry, if I do choose architecture, it'll be one Huge palace ;)

Hmmm, lets see:

* I want to live by myself in a 'kingdom by the sea' (copped it from E.A.P. ;) ) No annoying relatives, no bro's and sis's, and no parents. Just me.

* I want to become an Aalimah and a hafidha...

* I want to have great wisdom, that I will (insha'allah) have gained from religious and wise scholars.

* I want to do hajj no less than 5 times.

:-\ :hmm: I doubt any of it will come true though... :-\ :hmm:

There is an interesting statistic offered by Malcolm Gladwell in his book "Outliers: The Story of Success" ISBN 0141036257.

It is simply this that it take 10 years, equating to about 10,000 hours of hard work to get to the top of anything. He offers as evidence for this stories of Bill Gates, The Beatles and many others.

He simply shows that let's say you want to be a physicist then it will take 10 years of study to get to the top. His advice therefore to students or anyone who want to be an archiver is to record your study time for a few months and see how close it gets to this figure of about 1,000 hours per year or about 1/8 of your time.

You should remember that learning and practising your subject is not just sitting behind a desk until late at night but its all your reading, talking with others, exams, work, discussions over coffee, hard practice sessions in the labs and so on its all of those things.

So if you want to know what you will be doing in 10 years time, find out now how much time you are spending on learning with regard to whatever you want to be and that will be your best indicator as to whether you get there or not.

If I might just make a suggestion, planning is always hard to do and even harder to follow because for obvious reasons we cannot know what will happen tomorrow. But what we can do is think about the consequences of our decisions because those in general we can know.

1. AS Law

2. AS Psychology

3. AS Business Studies

4. As Statistics.

Strange, I really liked law, so I decided to take the ILEX exams and do a different course. Right now over the holidays I shall apply to work for a Solicitors firm. I shall train my up to a Legal Executive and promote myself into a Solicitor. I am interested in EU law and may apply to work for Saudi Aramco oil company or dealing with international civil litigation disputes. I may have to learn Arabic and French. Once I gain enough experience (like 10-15 years) I would like to work alongside a Coroner as a Assistant Coroner. Then I would like to apply as a Coroner. Coroner I would need five years experience as a Solictor. I might even apply to work in Saudi Arabia.

During that time I would really like to become a Hafiz. I am starting now.

For the foreseeable future I'm stuck in high school until '11 :exhausted

And in all honesty- I have no idea what could possible follow that.

University, no doubt.

But what would I study? I'm fickle and not to mention I love the arts and adore all the sciences. I take my philosophy with my physic, literature with my calculus. I suppose being open-minded can have its shortcomings. Hmm, the sky's the limit I suppose.

InshAllah, I'll tell you when and if I get there :)
